| 20090139141 | Automatic door opener - An automatic door opener is attachable to at least one manual door and an automatic door. The automatic door has a closed position and an open position. The automatic door opener includes an opening actuator, a pressure reservoir and a door activator. The opening actuator is operably connected to the automatic door. The pressure reservoir system is operably connected to the opening actuator, operably connected to the manual door, and operably connected to the automatic door. Movement of the manual door adds pressure to the pressure storage reservoir system. The door activator has an at rest position and an open position whereby pressure from the pressure reservoir system is released to the opening actuator moving the automatic door from a closed position to an open position responsive to movement of the door activator form the at rest position to the open position. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20080268110 | ONLINE, CONTINUOUS SENSOR AND METHOD FOR CURD MOISTURE CONTENT CONTROL IN CHEESE MAKING - A method is provided for improving quality of cheese produced from a milk batch. A light beam from an incident light source impinges onto a surface of the milk batch, and light backscatter is optically detected during a coagulation process and correlated to an optimum cutting time for the milk coagulum. Next, light backscattered from a curd and whey mixture derived from the milk batch during a syneresis process is optically detected and correlated to an optimum syneresis endpoint. At least one of the backscattered light data, optical parameters developed from analysis of the backscattered light data, and whey fat dilution are correlated to at least one of a milk protein %, a milk fat %, a milk total solids content, a milk processing temperature, a curd moisture content, a curd moisture change over time, whey fat content, a whey fat loss, and a final curd yield. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080270063 | Method of improving cheese quality - A method is provided for improving the quality of cheese produced from a curd and whey mixture. The method comprises the steps of monitoring the curd and whey mixture during syneresis processing to collect color data, comparing the color data to a predetermined standard and terminating syneresis when the color meets the predetermined standard or, alternatively, analyzing the color data obtained to generate kinetic parameters that can be used to predict the end point of syneresis to improve control of curd moisture content. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20090165039 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING VIEWERS OF TELEVISION TO ENTER INTO CONTACT WITH A SOURCE OF AN ADVERTISED PRODUCT OR SERVICE - A method comprises releasing to at least one television service subscriber a content stream conveying at least one information element deemed to be of potential interest to a multi-subscriber audience that includes the at least one television service subscriber; receiving from a particular one of the at least one television service subscriber an indication of a selection of a particular one of the at least one information element; determining a telephone number associated with the particular television service subscriber; determining a telephone number associated with the particular information element; establishing a first telephony leg on a basis of the telephone number associated with the particular information element; establishing a second telephony leg on a basis of the telephone number associated with the particular television service subscriber; and joining the first and second telephony legs to form an end-to-end telephony link for the particular television service subscriber. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100223164 | Methods and Computer-Readable Media for Enabling Secure Online Transactions With Simplified User Experience - A method, which comprises determining a logical identifier used for communication over a network portion managed by a service provider and transmitting to a computing apparatus adapted to effect online transactions involving a payer and a payee an indication of the service provider having agreed to act as the payer for at least one online transaction requested by a requesting device that uses the logical identifier. Also, a method, which comprises determining a logical identifier used to identify a device during a request for an online transaction; identifying, based on the logical identifier, a third party that has agreed to act as a payer for the online transaction; providing a user of the device with an opportunity to confirm the third party as the payer for the online transaction; and completing the online transaction based on input from the user. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20090108792 | Method And System For Eliminating External Piercing In NC Cutting Of Nested Parts - This invention pertains to machinery and methods for cutting a workpiece utilizing a cutting tool into at least two parts having prescribed shapes from a metal plate comprising the steps of: identifying each of the parts by one or more contour lines; cutting a workpiece along one of the identifying contour lines into one of the parts; creating at least one path diversion, wherein the diversion has an associated bounded region or opportunity; cutting the workpiece along a contour line associated with the opportunity; resuming the cutting of the part along the identifying contour line with minimal damage to the part being cut; finishing the cutting of the part and then moving the cutting tool to the opportunity and thence to an associated adjacent identifying contour line and then repeating the process until all parts have been manufactured. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090312862 | Methods And Systems For Predictive Torch Height Control - A method for controlling a height of a cutting torch, includes loading a workpiece onto a numerical control machine, scanning the workpiece with a scanning device at a plurality of discrete points on an upper surface of the workpiece, measuring an X-, a Y-, and a Z-coordinate for each respective one of the scanned discrete points, where X and Y define a plane substantially parallel to the loaded workpiece and Z represents a distance between the upper surface and the scanning device at a respective discrete point, storing the measured XYZ coordinates from each of the scanned discrete points into a data set, mathematically fitting the stored data set to a smooth surface representative of the upper surface of the loaded workpiece, and cutting the workpiece along a cutting path programmed into the numerical control machine, while controlling the cutting torch height to correspond to the representative smooth surface. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20080220323 | CAST ENCLOSURES FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT UNITS - This application relates to cast enclosures for battery replacement application, such as enclosures configured to house power units comprising a fuel cell and an energy storage device. The enclosures function as protective enclosures and counterweights, provide mounting points and conduits for gases, fluids, plumbing and wiring, and serve as thermal energy storage/transfer devices. The enclosures are formed in a mold or die and comprise wall portions defining a plurality of internal subcompartments for receiving the various system components. In one embodiment of the invention channels may be formed in the wall portions of the enclosures for circulating a heat transfer fluid therethrough. | 09-11-2008 |
